Abstract

A divider assembly is shown and described herein. The divider assembly may divide a stack of sheets, the divider assembly may include a body and a tab extending from the body. The divider may include at least one arm extending from the body and defining an elongated slot with the body that is configured for connecting to a binder. Further, at least one protrusion may be configured to selectively abut against bindings of the binder to selectively attached the divider thereon.

First claim

Having thus described the invention, we claim:

1. A divider assembly, the divider assembly comprising:
a tab extending from an edge of a body of the divider assembly;
at least one arm extending from the body and defining an elongated slot with the body that is configured for connecting to a binder system; and
at least one protrusion that extends from the body towards the arm and abuts against a surface of the arm wherein the arm is selectively positionable against a biasing force relative to the body creating a space between the at least one protrusion and the arm to allow for receiving bindings of the binder system.

2. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the arm extends from a side of the body, the arm having a length that is less than a length of the side of the body.

3. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the arm extends from a side of the body, the arm having a length that is greater than a length of the side of the body.

4. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one protrusion is a clasp.

5. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one protrusion has a tapered profile.

6. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a first arm extending from a first side of the body, a second arm extending from a second side of the body, and a second tab of the divider assembly extending from a third side of the body.

7. A divider assembly, the divider assembly comprising:
a tab extending from an edge of a body of the divider assembly;
at least one arm extending from a shoulder of the body and defining an elongated slot with the body that is connectable with a binder system, the elongated slot includes an open distal portion and an opposite inner apex portion adjacent to the shoulder of the body; and
at least one protrusion that extends from the body towards the arm and abuts against a surface of the arm, wherein the arm is selectively positionable against a biasing force relative to the body creating a space between the at least one protrusion and the arm to allow for receiving bindings of the binder system.

8. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the arm extends from a side of the body, the arm having a length that is less than a length of the side of the body.

9. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the arm extends from a side of the body, the arm having a length that is greater than a length of the side of the body.

10. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one protrusion is a clasp.

11. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one protrusion has a tapered profile.

12. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , further comprising a first arm extending from a first side of the body, a second arm extending from a second side of the body, and a second tab of the divider assembly extending from a third side of the body.

13. A divider assembly for dividing a stack of sheets within a binder, the divider assembly comprising:
a tab extending from an edge of a body of the divider assembly;
at least one arm extending from a shoulder of the body and defining an elongated slot with the body that is connectable to bindings of the binder, the elongated slot includes an open distal portion and an opposite inner apex portion adjacent to the shoulder of the body; and
at least one protrusion that extends from the body towards the arm to abut against a surface of the arm wherein the arm is selectively positionable against a biasing force relative to the body creating a space to allow for receiving the bindings of the binder,
wherein the tab is selectively positioned to at least partially extend passed a top portion of a stack of sheets within the binder when the arm is attached to the bindings of the binder.

14. The divider assembly according to claim 13 wherein a first binding of the binder abuts against the inner apex portion near the shoulder of the divider assembly and a second binding abuts against the protrusion such that the arm, inner apex portion and protrusion selectively lock the divider assembly to the bindings of the binder.

15. A binder assembly comprising:
a binder comprising at least a pair of rings and front and rear covers;
a divider assembly comprising:
a body having an edge;
a tab extending from the edge of the body;
an arm extending from the body and defining an elongated slot with the body, wherein the at least the pair of rings is positioned in the slot; and
at least one protrusion extending from the body towards the arm selectively abutting against the arm for holding the body in an operative position relative to the at one of the at least the pair of rings.
